waterproof Jeep carpet insulation - DIY car interior project

I decided to ditch the jute insulation that came in the vinyl flooring kit. How does it look?

I love this. My driver carpet has to be changed and I bought the acoustic/heat boards as an underlayment but I honestly felt like it needed more. This is a great firm topper! Cheers 🍻

This makes sense. It's waterproof unlike the usual carpet and insulation that soaks water and moisture that leads to rust.

Thank you, its definitely an improvement and in the off chance enough water gets in at least it wont smell as bad

Name brand products are TOTALLY out of sight in price! I damm near fell over when I was told $150.00 for 12 sq feet. This is the way to go 👍thanks

I did similar with my old suburban. I used cheap closed cell foam sleeping pads for camping.

Kirby definitely has Husky in him. Are you working on this flooring? Let me go stand on it and not move then. 😂

You did a good job. Much better results than I did. LOL

Which tape are you using?

[@Casper5point0]

Taking a heat gun a a roller would of helped stretch it around the corners and contours

[@Tarenja50]

Great idea. I see you used spray adhesive to hold in place. If you needed can you get the mats out without ripping things apart now?

[@junkname9983]

this is a terrible idea! The cold metal meets warm cabin air will create condensation and that condensation is going to get trapped underneath the waterproof barrier and stay there until it gets moldy and rust the panel. There's a reason why people use jute and it's because any water that gets to the jute can evaporate away from metal panels. Don't believe me? try this yourself and your car's going to smell all moldy within a year.

How is it working out for you??

[@rocksnrally5530]

I live in a fairly dry climate but I haven't had any issues so far. the sound is much better and if dust gets under the floor I can just lift the vinyl and vacuum it up.

Where did you buy the anti fatigue mat from?
